The French do definitely like cupcakes -- I have made them dozens of times for friends and family, all to rave reviews (so much so that I have started a cupcake catering biz but that's another story). The thing is taste preferences are so different here. I have found they are scared off by anything too overly decorated and the buttercream definitely needs to be more cream than butter. Fruit flavors and other such fantasy creations we make in the US are not big hits either (I'm thinking some of the Elvis inspired peanut butter, banana variety of seen likely or S'mores. You get the drift.<BR/><BR/>As long as it's chocolate, vanilla, caramel, Nutella, flavors that are familiar, well, the French are happy! And the idea of a perfect individual-sized cake "just for me" is still a novelty for them. <BR/><BR/>As for me, I'm just trying to make some childhoods (and adulthoods) a little bit sweeter.
